5. PMM Practices in GDOT l 18, 000 mile centerline highway. l 7 working districts. l Pavement surveyed annually with about 60 engineers. l 10 different types of distresses surveyed (i.g. load cracking) l Project rating is between 0 and 100. l More than 15 years of survey data (1986 – 2001) l Survey data used to determine suitable maintenance and rehabilitation strategies. l Total miles of projects treated are subject to budget availability. l 13 Congressional districts in Georgia and the budget for each district should be balanced.

6. Field Data Acquisition Field data acquisition is performed through COPACES module in GPAM.

7. Functions for Management - Rating Distribution By Districts
